How well do these work for holding stomach flab in place when you're exercising? I need something that will ease the "jostling stomach pain". Thanks

I lost 200 pounds and have a little extra skin in the stomach area as you can imagine. These don't really support me enough on their own I actually pair them up with another pair of compression shorts. But my main purpose is the compression for my hips so I'm not really focused on the stomach so much but that's where I get my support

They aren't compression shorts, just spandex. They don't help hold anything in place really.

I guess it depends on how much flab you have to hold in. I bought these to use for swim shorts and I think they do pretty well at holding stomach in and thighs look slimmer. Of course the top comes down over some. I bought 2x even though I wear size 18 cause I did not want them so skin tight I couldn't get them on. They work fine.

These are exactly what you want. Hold in the flab and are so comfortable you won't even know you have them on!

not at all. this is what I was expecting when I bought it, but alas, no go with these...sorry.

Same here, but I do notice a difference in the waistline of my pants and I'm trying to keep my abs tight every second I'm doing the work out. As long as I can see the results I don't care about feeling the "burn"!

Yes I think so. Obviously you'll smush them a bit since they have a shape, but it's not uncomfortable. They're pretty flexible even though they're rounded for eye movement/ have shape to them. I sleep on my stomach sometimes too. Haven't had any issues with them. (But just note that I've only been using them a short time.)

Slowly, I have firmed up and my waist is slimming. I am wheelchair bound with mid section paralysis. It is slow but it seems to be working. You will need patience, exercise, and appropriate diet. Belly Buster gives me energy, lessens my desire to eat, and does not upset my system.

Good Day! If you wear it during exercise it will help to pull excess water and burn fat. I am a personal trainer and I use it myself and highly recc. it for all my clients. You have to wear it consistently however, as it is not a miracle worker :).

They can't "build" stomach muscles. If you are new to working out, they can be used to incorporate many more exercises into your workout routine. If the bands help keep you active and burning calories along with a sensible diet, then you will be able to "see" your stomach muscles. If you are somewhat advanced, then you can get creative and assist in "strengthening" the abdominal and core muscles, but you must be careful with the bands.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running. Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

without a doubt. They are also helpful on a somewhat slippery hardwood floor- my situation- when doing burpees.

I don't know if it really tones your stomach as hard core ab work does. I use mine often while watching TV. It is just fun and if I get a slight toning benefit, that is great.I exercise regularly and my stomach is getting toned, but the lose of weight and overall exercise with the hula hoop all account for that. Be aware, the waves in the hoop with the weight can make you a bit sore, and I even had a small bruise by my hip bone at first, but your body gets used to it. I love my Hula Hoop :)

Don't feel bad, feel motivated. This has given me motivation to get back in the gym. I am seeing results and it is in part because of the ab belt. Good luck girlie.

I'm fat too and I haven't had any problem with it coming off. I put it high on my hip, where there are no rolls, on my abdomen, high up by my breasts, and by my belly button. The problem I've had is it only works for 1-2 days. I wonder if this is related to a higher dose being needed if you are overweight.

I use them lifting, stationary bike, row machine, sit-ups, pull-ups, and indoor climbing... and they have never just fallen out. The top ear clip thing really works well. The only times they've fallen out have been because the incredibly sticky cord catches on my shirt or the gym machine. If you're a little conscious of cord management (use the included clip and/or put hand on cord during sit-ups), they should be just fine.

I rarely use them now because I'm rarely home and I'm single ...but when I did use them...yes..I only used them at home. I was not confident in public or at work. I was scared it would fall out. Lol. I wore mine while house cleaning since the box indicates they work best with you standing as opposed to sitting. Lol..my daughter would ask if I was ok because I would walk funny for awhile. Then you get used to it being in there because you learn to squeeze that muscle. Don't use them for too long at a time or every day because like with every muscle you will get sore. Haha..

I definitely not recommend you use these while exercising. They have thick cushions that can absorb your sweat, so they will be a great pain to clean if they got stained i think. Plus, it might not stay as sturdy as sports earphones. They might drop.

Around the 2 hr mark I started to have some discomfort, I was using them during workouts which last about 90 min and I was fine. On the walk back I started some mild discomfort. They were great during the workout though.

I didn't have any gas problems as much as nauseous but they definitely helped ease all my stomach distress. I have Celiac Disease so these are a go to. Hope this helps.
